MicoVital Lion's Mane is a food supplement based on the extract of the lion's mane fungus (Hericium erinaceus), of which the fruiting body is exclusively used, which contains a higher concentration of polysaccharides (beta-glucans) and triterpenes such as hericenone and hericenins., with neurotrophic properties. The product is available in two formats: Capsules with the dry extract and in bottles with the liquid extract. For the two types of organic lion's mane extract, only the fruiting bodies are used. They are extracted with ultrasonic assisted technology (UAE), and with hot water and alcohol. With this innovative extraction method we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in lion's mane. In addition to the extract of lion's mane fruiting bodies, it contains zinc and copper that contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells against oxidative damage, and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) that contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and the maintenance of mucous membranes, skin and vision under normal conditions. Ideal to take it at noon and improve your mental performance. What are medicinal mushrooms? Although until a few years ago fungi were classified as vegetables, today they are considered to constitute an independent kingdom of equal rank to animals and plants. By having a high nutritional profile of proteins, micronutrients and important bioactive compounds, they are an important nutritional tool to take care of our health. They represent an important source of biologically active polysaccharides in fruiting bodies or sterile heads in some cases. Most of these polysaccharides belong to the group of beta-glucans; these have beta-(1—>3) linkages in the glucan backbone and additional beta-(1—>6) branch points that are responsible for the properties of these medicinal mushrooms. Lion's mane (Hericium erinaceus) is an edible and medicinal mushroom from the Holarctic. It is also known as “monkey head mushroom” (Hou Tou Gu), “hedgehog mushroom” or “pom-pom-blanc”. It can be identified by its tendency to grow as rounded clumps of whitish, long-spined beards when it sprouts, giving it its characteristic appearance and hence the name lion's mane. In the Chinese tradition and in Asian medicinal cuisine, it is a very popular mushroom, whose use dates back to the 16th century during the Ming dynasty, where it was used to "nourish the intestine". In addition, Buddhist monks used to infuse lion's mane to improve their concentration during meditation. Why is MicoVital Lion's Mane extract so special? For the two formats of the organic extract of lion's mane, only fruiting bodies are used. The technology "Ultrasonic Assisted Extraction (UAE)", hot water and alcohol is used. With this innovative extraction method we are able to maximize the bioavailability of the compounds of interest found in lion's mane. Miron violet glass vials, a unique type of glass container known as biophotonic, are used in the liquid extract. Miron glass also filters out harmful rays while filtering out infrared, ultraviolet, and violet light, extending product life and effectiveness. Due to a particular mix of minerals present inside the Miron glass, this bottle also ensures optimal nutrient preservation. It is recommended to use 1-2 capsules daily, or as recommended by an expert. We recommend taking MicoVital Lion's Mane at midday. We recommend taking a one week break after every 3 months of use.
